Constituted him Governor of Cuba, and invested him with absolute power over the immense territory of Florida, which he undertook to subjugate at his own expense.... Fitting out a most splendid armament, in which was invested all his own wealth, and that of his companions, many of whom had amassed immense fortunes by previous enterprises in America, he set sail from the port of San Lucar of Barrimeda, on the 6th of April " as gaily as if it had been but the holiday excursion of a bridal party. " He stopped in the island of Cuba, long enough to make arrangements for its government, during his absence ; and then proceeded for Florida, which he reached in the month of May, 1539, and anchored in a bay, which he called Espiritu Santo ; now known as Tampa Bay.
